Sethe Suffered the Most!

Great question, Sadea - I'll try to remember to use that next year! I think Sethe did, if you consider the times before the story opens (when she was living in slavery, then gang-raped, delivering a baby while wounded from a horrible whipping IN A BOAT while running for her life(what could be worse?)and of course what happens when she gets to Ohio - 29 days later, she kills her baby when they find her! Denver had an unhappy childhood but it can't compare to what Sethe went through. What do you guys think?
